IPod mini software issue?

When I let pause a playlist and it goes into sleep, the only way I can resume the playlist without it going back to song number 1 is waking it up by attaching the iTrip. The other problem I am having is when I use the click wheel to go to another menu, I cannot go back to the main menu. Even when I let it go to sleep it won't return. I have to do a reset on it.
While playing songs on the play list, the backlight will switch on and the screen shows that it has returned to the main menu, at this point I cannot pause any music, nor can I increase the volume etc.
I have downloaded the lastest version of software for my iPod, but that didn't seem to rectify the problem.
This issue is relatively new, I have had my iPod mini since Jan 2005, and have noticed this happening for the past 2 months or so.
Any help would be appreciated as I use my iPod all the time and am getting quite frustrated with it.

If you've restored the iPod and it hasn't cured the issue, then I would suggest you take advantage of your 'about to expire' warranty, and send it for service.

Does anybody know where i can download the IPOD MINI SOFTWARE

i recently bought an ipod mini off my friend but he gave me no cd with the ipod mini software. i dont need the itunes software i have that but i dont know where i can download the ipod mini software, any help will be amazing helpful and welcome, thanks

Yes it could be. You should perhaps restore it using the updater from the link I gave you.
Install this to your computer, restart the computer, run the Updater, then connect your iPod when prompted (not before), then choose restore.
This will return the iPod to factory settings, erase the hard drive, reload the software and ensure the iPod is Windows formatted.
Then you should be good to go.

Ipod mini software update issues

I am trying to restore the factory settings on my ipod mini but am running into issues when I go to do the installation and am getting a prompt that says that the volume must run on Mac OS 10.2.8 (or Mac OS 10.3.8) or higher. Do I have to do the restoration via computer running on this version of the Mac OS... how can I get around this?

It is for ipod touch as well.

Help with iPod mini (Battery issues)

I am an owner of an iPod mini (1st generation) that I bought in February from Amazon. The mini has constant battery issues that have led me to suspect a bad battery within.
For instance; I leave my mini in it's charging cable overnight, and it reports "charged" in the morning. I leave it for the rest of the day in my coat's poket but during my walk home from the bus stop, I find that the mini's battery is completely DISCHARGED and doesn't work at all. I'm sick and tired of having my battery last only a minute before it completely dies on me while walking home.
Can anyone lead me to a source of help? I NEED to get this problem fixed as I don't want to listen yo all my music while having to be hooked up to a cable.

Edited by an Apple Host
Apple will replace your battery (if its within one year of purchase, no receipt needed, just the SERIAL # on the back of your mini), and you can get repair for FREE, just $32 for shipping and handling, OR you can, if an Apple store is near your home or in your town, take it to them, and get a REPLACEMENT mini on the spot, for FREEEEE!!!
Try those methods, but i HIGHLY suggest you take it to an Apple store first and see their take on the issue!!!

Ipod mini uploading issues

Hi there.
Ive search and read pages upon pages to see if any other folks have had this problem. It seems that I am not alone (thank goodness) but even after lots of trouble shooting I can not seem to get my iPod mini to load songs.
Ive reset my factory settings three times. My iTunes is up to date as well as my software for the ipod mini. The error message that I get EVERY TIME I plug in my iPod mini in is "You do not have enough space on your iPod".
I have my settings set to only clicked songs - which the clicked songs is probably half the amount that would fit onto the mini (its a 4GB). I used to be able to at least drag songs into the ipod mini but it wont let me add any songs now. So with nothing in my ipod (really, I just set it back to factory settings) it tells me I dont have enough free space.
Help!

IPod Mini Software broke my computer??

I received a 16GB Ipod mini for X-mas. Because I am afraid of all thing electronic, I haven't tried to use it until tonight. I put the CD in the drive and downloaded all the software and formated the iPod itself (yeah me!). Got all the way through the installation process and was prompted to reboot. I did...
Now I get this blue screen (not the blue screen of death; I'm painfully familiar with that one!) that tells me all sorts of error codes. I try to reboot in safemode and even that takes me back to this blue screen.
I can't even wipe out the hard drive and start over as Dell didn't see fit to send me a copy of the OS disc!
My question is, can anyone help me fix this problem? I practically live on my computer (using my fiance's BTW) and I'm going crazy quickly.
Any help is appreciated. TY ahead of time!!

Well, we need to clear up what iPod you actually have because there's no such thing as a 16GB iPod mini. Look here to see what your iPod model is.

I put the CD in the drive
What CD do you refer to? iPods haven't been supplied with install CD since Sept 2006.

Ipod mini software update!

Is there a way to uninstall the recent software update of the ipod mini as i am having problems with adding songs to ipod that i was not having before the update. re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick!

"re-setting ipod via the updater doesn't do the trick! "
You can't reset the iPod via the updater, you can only restore or update the software.
In order to revert to an older version of the software, you would have to find an older updater (on your computer or the installation disk perhaps?) and use that.

Cannot load ipod mini software and use i pod

HELP I have a sony vai0 older computer. I am giving it to my sister. It has a wireless card that uses the same port as the Hi speed 2.0 card. I do not have the original cd to load the ipod software. I have to take out the wireless card to use the 2.0 network card that is required for transfer. What am I to do. I cannot find the link to download the software necessary to load the Ipod. I have however loaded the latest version of I tunes

It's not the software... millions of users have installed the same software on their iPod mini before you.
I'm not sure what the "5 steps" are, so if you did not try a Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320 - How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
you should try that first. If you get back to being stuck at the Apple logo...
One possibility is data corruption on the iPod's tiny hard drive. Everything was still working OK as long as the old iPod software files on the iPod's hard drive stayed "as is." When the update tried to replace the old iPod software files, the existing data corruption made it unsuccessful. Now, the iPod cannot run its software.
You should try a Restore on the iPod. This will erase the iPod, re-install the latest software, and set it to default settings. Erasing will remove any data corruption, if that is the cause of the problem.
Restore is done in iTunes from the iPod's Summary screen. If the current problem does not allow the iPod to appear in iTunes, put it into Disk Mode first
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363 - iPod devices with a Click Wheel
If it goes into Disk Mode, connect it the computer and run iTunes. Hopefully, iTunes will see it and allow you to try a Restore.

Ipod mini software- can you install it on more than one computer?

Hi all,
Got no response to my first question so I thought I'd try again.
I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
Many thanks,
Samantha

You don't need to install the software
Sorry Jeff. She asked "Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?"
You HAVE to install the software (iTunes) in order to run it.
Yes, you can install iTunes on as many computers as you want. You do not need to use the software CD that came with the iPod. Probably outdated anyway.
You can download iTunes from www.itunes.com

Ipod mini screen issues

I had an first gen. IPOD mini that broke was replaced by apple about 4 months ago. Now the ipod is acting up again. I recently gave this ipod to my sister because I was buying a new one. When I had it, it never had any issues. Now that she has loaded her music on it it has started acting up, I dont know if that is related to anything or not. (maybe a corrupted file she loaded.) The problem is that when you push a button on the ipod to turn it on, it turns on but the second you release the button the screen goes blank. If you put on song, the screen will blank but the song will still play. Also if the backlight is on, the backlight will stay on, but there will be no words on the screen. If you hold down any one of the buttons the screen stays on, even if its a slight push on the buttons it turns the screen on.
I have already tried restoring factory settings, and updating the ipod. Neither of those solutions worked. Can anyone help?

Ipod mini battery issue

My ipod mini's battery life is over and I was looking into the apple support options and battery replacement. However, I was wondering if you get a battery replacement if all data on the ipod will be deleted or if apple will just give me a new ipod mini. Thanks.

Usually Apple doesn't actually replace the battery, but instead places it with an exact model. So yes, your data will be lost, so be sure to back it up to your computer if at all possible before sending it in for repairs/replacement.

1st generation ipod touch Software issue

I have a 1st generation ipod touch (software version 3.13). When I attempt to update the software, it says that the software is up to date. Can I manually force an update or is there something else I can do?

Nope. 3.1.3 is the highest possible for a 1st gen.
